Very comfortable walking shoes. I bought them to wear on a trip to Europe where white tennis shoes just don't cut it. They fit like a glove right out of the box and are very comfortable. Good arch support and soft heel.

Excellent shoe. I've been wearing the grey nubuck for a couple of months and was worried about getting them wet in the rain but water doesn't seem to penetrate. I'm not talking about torrential downpours or walking through large puddles. I love the quick laces and will be taking these shoes to travel to France in May, since they are very comfortable. I do wear them with my Superfeet orthotic, as I suffer from foot problems. I also own the brown and may buy the black. Wish Mephisto would make them in red (hint hint).

These felt great right out of the box. Needed a walking shoe for Europe that could go from trail to restaurant. Worried that they might be too clunky (what a useless video of the shoe, where the model's jeans completely obscure them!). But they are much more streamlined than they appear in the photos, and have a high quality look to them. After much searching, I've finally found my vacation shoes!

These were very comfortable out of the box and didn't require any breaking in. Just put them on a wore them all day many days in a row - a miracle for me! This shoe is a bit narrower in the forefoot than usual for this kind of Mephisto style, but the leather is soft and stretched easily. The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating in comfort is the forefoot width. I have high arches and would have been happy with a bit more arch support but not having it hasn't presented any problem with this particular style.

Just purchased these a month ago in the Navy Nubuck and wore them each day of my week-long vacation in Ireland. They didn't let me down! Normally after walking on cobblestone or cement all day in any shoe, I would feel soreness on the balls of my feet, but not with these shoes. I didn't feel a thing! I felt like I could still walk, dance - you name it! WORTH the money! I kept expecting my feet to be tired and sore, but they never were. Even my New Balancesneakers or my Josef Seibel Biscay shoes do not compare to these Mephisto Laser walking shoes.
